About

My unquenchable curiosity has brought me many places, geographically and professionally. I have managed, through time and efforts, to adapt quickly to the situations I was confronted to, and it is today my greatest ability. My work experience as an architectural designer spans different scales, from interior design to town planning. After ten years spent in China and Asia, I have returned to Canada to complete a master's degree in urban studies. My thesis interrogates the hegemony of Western principles used in conception and analysis as European villages are transplanted in Shanghai's new urban territories. My six years teaching at an international college of design gave me incredible communicative skills as I managed to translate complex concepts into coherent graphics and explanation, always sensitive to the students' reception.

I input a dose of humanity to many aspects of my work, from teamwork to human aspect of design. Cultural diversity should be seen as helping architectural design achieve its most fundamental state. I consider myself a world nomad: I can feel at home at many places in the world, as long as I can learn and share my enthusiasm and experience.
